Spock, although being a Starfleet student, has never been to Earth nor have met other humans except his mother. One day an announcement arrives, asking for all Starfleet students to take part to a refreshment on the new starship Enterprise. Spock wants to go, but his father doesn't give his consent. Spock will find a way (with a little help).

“Maybe some day you’ll meet somebody that means more to you than that ship of yours does. Somebody for whom you’ll be willing to sacrifice everything for. I hope you do. I want you to have that kind of love in your life.” --Carol Marcus, "Reflections"

Following the death of Spock, Admiral Kirk is willing to sacrifice everything for the one he loves.

This is a slash retelling of The Search for Spock, expanding into and well beyond the scope of the film.

Life is messy. One moment they were celebrating Christmas: Captain James T Kirk, his First Officer Spock, his wife Commander Nyota Uhura, and their new baby daughter. The next, a heart-breaking funeral, leaving Jim to pick up the pieces. Sworn to be friends, he’d buried his love deep; the Vulcan was happily married to somebody Jim respected greatly, and contrary to popular belief he’s not that kind of guy. Yet a last request to care for Nyota’s husband and child leaves him with a dilemma, a dilemma that can only be solved by a Christmas miracle.
